A Private Press
A Private Press is folk-grass duo from Philadelphia in the USA comprising of Nicola Dixon (Vocals) and Ian Schaefer (Guitar).
Having been laid up for a few days it is appropriate to come back with something mellow and A Private Press certainly hit that mark. An emotion riven vocal floats around a sparse yet highly effective acoustic guitar.
Nicola possesses an intoxicating voice, in which it is possible to lie drenched in cotton wool as the clear and precise notes and diction emerge with power and emotional context. The duo make excellent use of the strengths to deliver minimalist out-put that precisely due to the simplicity hits the bulls-eye dead-centre.
There is a quality to the construction of the songs that enable them to offer a sound that strikes directly in to the ear with as much power as a full blooded rock band on maximum volume.
They are planning on a full album release The Paris of The South in the summer of 2012.
